I think that everyone but Sheldon may be female. I'm a little unsure about Scarlett.

What do they're voices sound like? Are they more of a "quack" or a croak (kind of like a deep frog croak)?
 
Sheldon has the barking low toned "quack" like a frog. Honestly he hardly quacks at all, but I recently noticed Lillyann my largest female has a harsh deeper "quack". Sheldon was always the smallest and had a white spot under his beak when little. Lillyann was also my smallest female, until recently she is the biggest.
Scarlett is the smallest female now and the most tame. I do however find her in my boorder box alone every morning. Also is there a reason their beaks are an olive color at the tip working its way back to their nostrils? Thanks for the advice! I am going to listen to their quacks closely this evening.
 
Beautiful ducks!!!!
I'm very new to ducks . Just a duck keeping duckling myself.
I have 3 8 weeks old cayuga's. I'm almost 100 % sure they are females because they are demanding. When they don't get their way they voice their opinion in a very loud way.
If they weren't so freaking pretty and entertaining I wouldn't put up with thier attitudes. :lau

Sheldon sounds like he may be a male then. The males have more of a frog sound, and the females have more of an actual quack. When they get older watcj their tail feathers for curly feathers. Males have curly tail feathers.
